My parents were young CORE workers. Never forget the murder of 3 Civil Rights workers in Mississippi in 1964. The case drew national attention because 2 of the men were White. Due to 200 FBI searching for them, the bodies of other missing Black men were found. Never forget the murders were planned by a sheriff and Baptist minister in the KKK. Those evil men are fathers and grandfathers of men we have to deal with today. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/freedomsummer-murder/
On the Right, the only definition of “freedom” that matters is the freedom to impose a reactionary “natural” order on others and subjugate all those who dare to deviate.
It manifests most blatantly in this: The “freedom” to curtail the freedom of others and force them to undergo demeaning, cruel rituals.

Um, slight problem here. Just 30 tons of explosives missing somewhere between Wyoming and California.
Move along now, nothing to see here.
@RememberUsAlways @copter_chief Hell, remember what they’re doing right now with Tommy Tuberville holding up promotions in all branches of the service right now! The Republican Party is anti-#military.

A quiet shot across the bow of school districts that egregiously and without due process remove #books and thereby create a hostile environment for #students of marginalized backgrounds: federal Education Department ruling in Georgia case. Book removals also may have violated student civil rights. #FirstAmendment #FreePress #FreedomToRead #censorship

@1finekitty It may be AI, but it’s still nausea-inducing.
Invasive giant spider in US is actually 'shyest ever documented,' study finds
Joro spiders have spread all over Georgia and its neighboring states, but they don't owe their success to a combative nature — quite the opposite, in fact.

Odd timing from someone who says we need to decrease the deficit if we pay our bills.
The law that was passed that adds IRS agents reduces the deficit by $114bn.
Yet @tedcruz wants to undo the law and add $114bn to our deficit.
Hypocrite.
